The waterway convention to he held at

Sept % contains the call 10 full and
Celebrates on the importance of the meet
ing, while the Times thus speaks its sen-
timent
The Illinois river improvement com
mittee have issued an announcement that
an improvement convention will be held
at Peoria on the 18th of October next.
The project to be considered is that of
connecting the waters of Lake Michigan
with the Mississippi VIA the Illinois and
Desplaines rivers To Joliet, and wide
and deep canal from Joliet to Lake Mich>
igan." The committee invite citizens,
not only of Illinois, but of adjoining states
who favor the improvement, 10 partici>
pate in the proceedings of the conven
ton. they also announce that the basis
of representation fixed is one representa-
tive from each county for every five
hundred votes cast for president i'll 1884
IF no meeting is called to appoint delt-
gates in any county the mayor OF the
cities or county judge in each county,
and those whom they may send, will be
accredited rs delegates"
A full representation on the basis pro-
posed would make a big convention.
But, of course, full representation is
not expected. although it is earnestly re-
| Quested. The people living along the
| line of the waterway will naturally take
more interest in the improvement than
people living at n distance, very many of
whom it would benefit only in way so
remote as to be hardly perceptible. Still
it is hoped that there will be a large at
tendance, and that the convention will
exert an influence. upon congress at the
coming session.
The appeal to congress for the means
to effect the proposed Improvement is
based upon the ground that the work is
one of national importance. 1t is not so
much as q highway of actual commerce
thai this waterway is of SO much impOr~
lance to the nation. for It's tratf1c
may never equal that of New York canal
system. But its importance as a check
upon the railroads in their relation to the
immense commerce between the east and
the west must undoubtedly be very great
MultiIudes on the Atlantic seaboard have
really more interest in the enterprise than
the people of southern Illinois Besides.
it is undeniaby desirable that there
should be waterway between Lake
Michigan and the Mississippi of sufficient
capacity for the passage of war vessels.
So far, at all events. the project is strictly
national in all its character, and on this
ground congress may fairly be asked 10
give il favorable consideration.
The object to be accomplished By the
convention would be great thing fol

tional benefit it would be, or wherein the
friends of Hennepin are interested,
